It is Kitten's first full moon, and when she sees it she thinks it is a bowl of milk in the sky.
And she wants it.
Does she get it? Well, no .
and yes.
What a night A brief text, large type, and luminescent pictures play second fiddle to the star of this classic picture book--brave, sweet and lucky KittenHenkes's text, reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's work in the elemental words, rhythms, and appealing sounds, tells a warm, humorous story that's beautifully extended in his shimmering, gray-toned artwork.
